So is brass just not as good as silvered for rail operation.  Brass looks more realistic.  Or is it the cost of materials...brass has copper.

I think Brass has a greater tendency to tarnish than nickel silver, which just gets dirty.

Brass is probably a more conductive material, but that's probably the main positive side.

Brass tarnishes far worse than nickle silver. I have used all the track types with the exception of Marklin and the Kato is far and away the best system but it lacks the vast number of switches that are available in regular track but everything is nickle silver except the cheap Bachmann track with the black base that uses steel rail
